" “Go big or go home”, people say, and this was a lie of Titanic proportions: Chris Christie, who despite his name is not the least bit Christlike, shut down most traffic on a bridge to punish a mayor for not kissing his Christie Joisey ass.

Commuters. Fire trucks. Ambulances. Commercial vehicles. All made to wait in a partisan traffic jam.

And the Guv? Why, he is lying like the big ol’ sack of s*** that he is. The fact that an old high-school buddy ordered the closure? Coincidence. And the fact that said buddy is now off to parts unknown? Another coinkeedink. Thus spake the Christie.

Of course, the truth is already coming out. And hopefully all the fools he fooled and all the gullible twits he gulled will remember this moment before they are dumb enough to vote for this Lying Sack of S*** again. "

1. WHY was the bridge closed? I don't see a reason given in the article.

2. It's much more clear in this article...

13. I just linked that article to my facebook with comment. Spread the word people, spread the word.

14. That's the way to do it!

The MSM will drop this story soon, so we have to spread it.

3. There are two linked articles if you follow the above link.

The Democratic mayor of the New Jersey town closest to the bridge decided not to endorse Christie in his recent re-election bid. So the Guv had a buddy who worked in the appropriate bailiwick shut down all but one lane of the bridge for a sham "traffic study".

4. Busted.

It almost certainly was political pay-back. Glad this is getting some coverage.

5. Bully Boy gets his comeuppance

Well well now, the chickens are finally coming home to roost (or is that roast) for the reining Jersey Bully Boy!
Let's see how light on his feet Christie is now as he tap dances through this one.

6. did anyone die because of this manufactured lie

If so, Christie should be going to jail.

[edhopper]

7. He should have gone to jail

for hitting someone in his car while going the wrong way on a one way street.

8. Good question. nt

[warrior1]

9. I guess time will tell.

What was lost was:

The man hours to the commuters waiting in line

Gas for the commuters cars for waiting in line

Someone might have loss a job because the didn't or couldn't get to work

This went on for days. CC head should roll for this.

10. Emails here discussing the impact

11. wow

that's going leave a mark on christie

[riqster]

12. We'd best make sure it does.

The MSM will try to keep going with the "bipartisan statesman" meme they have been using for him, and damn those pesky facts things.

15. Traffic study? Seriously?

Claims have been made that the lanes closures were due to a traffic study? As far as I know you only close lanes to effect repairs and worker safety. Exactly what can one learn from closing lanes on a busy highway during peak hours that isn't glaringly obvious?

[riqster]

17. Yeah, as BS stories go, it was pretty lame.

But when you don't think you will get caught, you can get kinda sloppy. Christie has been getting away with shit for so long, he has forgotten how to do corruption competently.

16. The thing is...

...I know republicans who actually admire this sort of behavior in politicians.
